Chapter 26: Why did Your Majesty Surrender First?

Not noticing anything strange about Lancelot at all, Arthur asked in a joking tone.

"Sir Lancelot, when did you learn Kay's tricks? Too dark thoughts will not be welcomed. Although I do not advocate Gawain's character, if you only have a little bit, you can learn it appropriately. Still, Why does Sir Lancelot have so little confidence in me?"

"No! How could it be?! I have always believed that my king will definitely bring victory!" Lancelot retorted loudly as if he was stimulated by something.

"The sound is too loud. Do you want to scare me to death, idiot!"

"Ah, I'm sorry."

Seeing Lancelot immediately calm down and looking guilty, Arthur couldn't help but smile.

With this look, no one would believe it if I told him that Lancelot was the perfect Knight of the Lake.

"My king, are you okay?" Lancelot asked with concern.

"Of course it's okay. Do you really think I'm so fragile that I'll die if I speak louder? I'm not a small animal like a hamster."

"Huh~ Then I'm relieved. But my king, please stay with me later. I'm not worried about defeat, but about your safety. The battlefield is a very dangerous place, even if I'm not careful, I will lose my life."

"That's it." Arthur nodded.

In fact, he didn't worry much about his safety.

Indeed, the battlefield is very dangerous and full of super Britons and super Saxons. Ordinary people like him can be hacked to death by just a random soldier.

However, the last time he drew the Chosen Sword, he triggered six system tasks and completed three.

Get three rewards respectively.

[Equipment—Shield of Radiance (with Aegis self-disciplined attack system attached)]

[Knowledge——Swordsmanship]

[Skill - Telekinesis]

Swordsmanship is easy to understand, it is just a push of swordsmanship moves, and the system also thoughtfully provides skills to move with the knight's sword.

As for telekinesis, it is more like an ability, giving Arthur a few more invisible hands to manipulate objects at will. It is very convenient for daily life and work. The only flaw is that it is not strong enough. It can only control the weight of a human body and lift about ten meters into the air.

In combat, it has almost no effect.

After all, in this era, ordinary soldiers can wield more than a hundred kilograms of force with a casual blow. Arthur's telekinetic impact of about sixty or seventy kilograms will have almost no impact on people if resisted.

Of course, neither [Swordsmanship] nor [Telekinesis] are Arthur's confidence.

The reason why he is not afraid of going to the battlefield is because of the [Equipment—Shield of Light] he obtained.

It is a cross-shaped shield with two sides that can be adjusted in size, up to two meters long. As long as enough magic power is supplied, it can float around the user. And it can defend itself with self-discipline, and the intensity of the attacks it can withstand is very impressive. At least Arthur himself was not confident that he could break through the shield of light.

As for magic power, there is no need to worry.

Morgan has the complete protection of the British Isles, and the power of [Lord of the Island] allows Morgan to use the power of the British Isles at will. And magic power is exactly what this last territory of the Age of Gods, the British Isles, lacks least.

And Arthur, who is favored by Morgan, can naturally mobilize this magic power.

Although the amount of one-time output is not huge, it is inexhaustible.

With this, Arthur felt that as long as he did not risk his life and lead the charge, he could hide behind the military formation and use the shield of light to block the arrows.

"..."

Hmm, okay, a bit timid indeed.

But in Arthur's view, this is not cowardice, but recognition of oneself.

How could he, an ordinary person, survive on the battlefield?

"Ah, I'll leave it to you then, Sir Lancelot." Arthur nodded solemnly.

An extra guard seems to be a good idea.

However, he didn't notice that as soon as he said these words, Gawain's eyes turned red, and the SAN values ​​of the knights and soldiers around him dropped crazily.

"By the way, Kay, what do you think of the Saxons coming this time?"

"...very dangerous."

"I'm not asking that, I'm asking you about their act of starting a war."

"I see, are you attacking us?" Kay thought for a moment and replied: "Reckless, even stupid. Crossing the kings' defense line and attacking Camelot directly will not let them go even if they win. They go back. It can be said that their ending was determined from the moment they set foot on the territory of Camelot."

Yes, reckless, stupid and even crazy.

If you attack Camelot directly, what if you win?

The armies of the surrounding countries have been waiting. When the Saxons and Camelot clash, they will not have much power to fight anymore. By then, these 10,000 Saxon troops would be unable to resist the encirclement and suppression by surrounding countries.

So when people heard that 10,000 troops were coming, they felt incredible.

Because this in itself is a suicide attack that cuts off all escape routes.

"You can see it clearly, Kay. Just as you thought, that's why the northern kings let them go. Not only can they kill me, the legendary king in Merlin's prophecy, with their power, but also feel at ease annihilating Camelot. Killing two birds with one stone, I would have done the same thing," Arthur said with a satisfied smile.

Kay said no more.

From his point of view, it was foolish for the kings to do this, and it would only reduce the internal strength of Britain.

However, Arthur agreed with the behavior of the kings, and he could not blame them for anything.

"But this is too worthless. Even those barbarians give up their lives so easily..." Gawain hesitated, and finally said, "Don't the Saxons know this? Attack Camelot, it's meaningless."

"Haha, how can human beings give up life so easily? Knowing that it is a dead end and there is no meaning, but still going for it, few people in the world have such courage. Naturally, the Saxons only come when they see a way out. As long as they defeat us, they can cross Camelot, further east you can see the cliffs near the sea. Although there is no way to attack Camelot there, you can escape, right?"

The cliff is so steep that people will subconsciously ignore it.

I'm afraid only people who are very familiar with it can still remember that kind of place.

"Now, the Saxon warships should have been docked somewhere nearby, waiting for a response." Arthur sneered.

Looking at Arthur's appearance, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

It's as if he knew in advance that the Saxons would attack, or even as if Arthur helped the Saxons formulate the entire battle plan.

But how is that possible?

At this time, the dark knight's horse rushed back from the front of the team.

——Aggravain!

He was the one who reported the Saxon army's attack before, but now it's him who is spying on the enemy's movements.

"My king, there is news from the front. When the sun rises at noon, the enemy troops will arrive at the predetermined location."
